[LAyZbOi]

Hey guys was wondering if i should buy like 5-10 PS3 for 950 bucks each rite now. I can get them here but i know i can sell them to the states for atleast 1500 each but do you guys think around christmas time i can sell them for over 2k USD each?? If so i think it will be a good investment?? What do you guys think??

If you could somehow get 5 for retail price, then I would do it.

You should at least recover your original output.

I'm not sure if there is any difference in the ones over there and the ones over here as far as the language is concerned. I'm guessing you should be able to switch the language from Chinese to English. If you can do this, you will have no trouble selling them in the U.S. and I would buy as many as I could get my hands on.

There is pratically no difference from the ones that are over here. You can change the language setting to english so there is no problem with the languages and i think as a bonus you can get them chipped here so you can buy fake games in the future but i prolly wont open the box or else they would think its been used or whatever...

So you think i can sell it for about 2k around christmas time.... If so im thinking taking a gamble here cuz right now i know i can offload them at about 1500 so i still make 500 each excluding the shipping but if christmas comes add extra 500 i would go get them for sure....

Sony: PS3 Shipments Arriving, 1 Million Still 2006 U.S. Goal
Sony has issued an official statement on the launch of the PlayStation 3 console in North America, indicating that new systems are being airlifted in weekly, and that they 'couldn't be more pleased' with the response from consumers.

According to Sony's statement, the initial allocation of systems 'sold out within hours', and the biggest selling game of the PS3 launch were Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man, followed by EA title Madden '07.

The $599 60GB model was the top selling SKU (over the $499 20GB model), and Sony remarked that the buzz around the PS3 had 'a halo effect on other PlayStation products', noting that PSP week-over-week sales increased +29% at the company's top 5 retailers (week
ending Nov. 20), and PS2 week-over-week sales increased +24% at the company's top 5 retailers (week ending Nov. 20).

For those waiting to purchase PS3s in North America, after overwhelming launch demand, Sony revealed that 'PS3s will be airlifted in to the U.S. on a weekly basis through the end of the year. A new shipment has already arrived and will be available at retail by Black Friday.'

The company also re-iterated its goals for the end of the year, though did not comment on specific amounts of PS3s shipped thus far: 'We are still focused on reaching our goal of 1 million units in the pipeline by Dec. 31 in the U.S.'

The full statement from Sony's PR head David Karraker regarding the launch is as follows: 'Sony Computer Entertainment America couldn’t be more pleased with the response we have seen from consumers since the launch of PLAYSTATION 3 on Friday. This truly demonstrates the power of the PlayStation brand and further validates our belief that consumers see real value in an entertainment system that will define the next decade of digital entertainment.'

'At this point, we are focused on getting as many new PS3s to the North American market as possible for the holidays, including airlifting systems to the territory on a constant basis. With PS3 manufacturing now running smoothly and product being aired in weekly, we're focused on our goal of shipping a million units to retail by the end of the calendar year. Due to the immediate nature of these shipments, we will not be providing weekly updates on North American supplies.

Don't get them at $950 each. You won't make enough of a profit to make it worth your while.

On Ebay you can find them for about $1000( + or -) $100. I saw a few auctions go under 1000, just gotta look for them at the right time.

I got a friend who is a genius... he bought one at retail price and wants to make some money off it, so he is running squares for Sunday's Bears/Patriots game... each square is $25 and the only pay out is a Playstation 3 for the end of the game

so, he spends $700 on the Playstation, but gets $2500 in the process ($25 x's 100 squars)... you get the money upfront and a nice profit

That's called racketeering.
